Just A Little

written by: rstephens93

A little "hey"
A little "I'm ok"
A little "I'll make it through the night"

But I tell you I'm undercover cop
And I swear by my life I'm never gonna stop
But I tell you I'm a detective
and I'm just slightly over-reflective
And I'm tired of hiding
These pains are coinciding

A little "hey"
A little "I'm ok"
A little "I'll make it through the night"

But every single time
A little piece of me is torn away
And it's just a little hard to say

A little "hey"
A little "I'm ok"
A little "I'll make it through the night"

But maybe I'm just a little secret
Maybe just a little regret
That you keep

And maybe I'm just another
Just a little other
One you're through with

But every single night I wake
Hoping to find something a different way

But when everyone's a fake
Who am I to be?
When everyone's a fake
What does that make me?

A little "hey"
A little "I'm ok"
A little "I'll make it through the night"

But every single time
A little piece of me is torn away
And it's just a little hard to say

A little "hey"
A little "I'm ok"
A little "I'll make it through the night"

I'm just another kid on the bleachers
I'm just another student for the teachers
I'm just another one you toss out
One you're done with

And everyone can walk down the halls
And see the lockers the same
And everyone can make their calls
But no one knows my name

And when we grow old
We all have this fear
Or maybe it's just me
But I don't wanna be alone
I just wanna need the phone

Am I just scared?
Just a little
